Earth’s magnetic field is quietly, steadily changing, and the shift is no longer just an abstract concern for geophysicists.

Scientists are closely monitoring changes in Earth’s magnetic field as signs of a potential geomagnetic reversal continue to ...

As the iron and nickel inside our planet shift, so does Earth's magnetic field, meaning the North (and South) Poles are also ...

Geomagnetic storms are capable of sparking beautiful displays of the Northern Lights across our night sky. However, there is a potential danger behind that beauty, especially now, with solar activity ...

Earth's magnetic field and oxygen levels are inextricably linked, new research suggests. The strength of the geomagnetic field has gone up in lockstep with the percentage of oxygen in Earth's ...

The geomagnetic field, generated by the convecting motions of Earth’s liquid outer core, is a fundamental facet of our planet’s evolution. Its long‐term behaviour is recorded in rocks through the ...

Desert ants can sense the North-South direction of the magnetic field to determine the direction of their nest entrance during so called learning walks. How exactly magnetoreception works in animals, ...

A recent coronal mass ejection may disrupt Earth’s geomagnetic field on Friday, potentially making the aurora borealis visible in more than a dozen states across the northern U.S., according to the ...

Geomagnetic storms wreaking havoc in our atmosphere last night and today may hamper efforts to aid recovery in the wake of Hurricane Milton and Helene. The "severe" G4 geomagnetic storm sparked ...

The Midwest, Mid-Atlantic and even the deep South could be in for an aurora borealis treat Sunday night. A strong geomagnetic storm could make northern lights visible to much of the U.S. There’s a ...

Desert ants of the Cataglyphis nodus species use the Earth's magnetic field for spatial orientation, but rely on a different component of the field than other insects. The survey suggests that the ...
